Not a Tobias Richter animation in sight this month. Never mind, there's
some useful substitutes. Thanks to all the crews who sent in their

material, particularly The Hacktrick Cracking Crew and the

Ballcrackers. The rest appear courtesy of Seventeen Bit Software.

Anyone who reckons they can do better should send their work to CU

I the gameplay is based
around twelve separate:

VoiUme 1 ii

n the ei
baHJefleld, not just in rela-
tion to the mission lliat you
are flying.

The situation is critical.
An enemy assaull on your
base is close to completion
as three tanks roll relen-
UesBly towards your ajr-
fletd. Behind them, three
landing craft are
approaching the shores,
ready to spill a fKah supply
ol tanks into tlw attack.
Behind these lie the
enemy'; lines ot supply —
roads and rail — whioh
bring fresh equipment te
the battleflcM from their
industrial heartland. Your
last objective is to control
the initial threat to your
base by destroying the
tanks and landing craft.

which are belter taken
together — to stop the
enemy advance. Both sets
ot targets need to be des-
troyed as soon as possible.
Evarylime a landing craft
reaches the shore, it "tops
up" an invisible stock of
tanks, and each time a
truck or a tram arrives, so
the stocks on the other
side of the lake

In thi

arly

> battle,
piioi must accept thai it is
soing to take a couple of

Stocks are exhausted, and
must therefore be pre-
pared to balance his objec-
tives between containment
and deep strikes.
The principle to keep in

mind is that once des'
troyad, items "stay dead"
for a number ot subse-

means that II you destroy
all the tanks and landing
craft, you will have a mis-
sion In which to shrflie al a

strategic target before
they reappear las long as
stocks exist by the lake
side). Once the supplies
have been limited for long
enough the stocks will run
out. usudly live or six suc-
cessful missions. It Is at
this point that you can start
to relax and think about
pushing the enemy back
Into their own territory.
And remember, pitch your
nose down In air to ground
attacks.

Even the experienced
Falcon pilot will find the
challenge of the tanks new
and demanding. This is one

aspects of using the
Maverick's camera — to
properly acquire targets
beyond visual range, track
them and then release the
AGM. Try to approacti (he
tanks in their line of move-
ment (either with it or
against) and achieve lock-
on by centring the image
on the corned display. The
greatest problem here >s
that it is almost impossible

to destroy all three tanks in
one pass, thereby gwlng
Ihem an excellent chance
to head for your runway.
The best tactic Is lo meet
each one head-on. and then
to continue the pass In the
hope ol meeting one of the
landing craft. So, If it all
works, only three passn
would be required —
although that fi about as

in doubt.

the tanks and go liack for

the landing craft.

One thing lo watch tori
as you lly over the lake a
MiG 29 may challenge you.
He'll fly In from the north-
west and once you've spot-
ted hbn he'll turn and lly
back north. LEAVE HIM
ALONE. If you've selected
more than one MiG he's
setting you up for his part-
ner, if not he's doing his
best to lead you over a

north. The first objective is
their lines of supply. Des-
troy the traffic and then
remove the bridges (the
brUges take five missions
to be r«lHilll). Once the
stocks of arms at Hie lake
are exhausted you are
almost free to strike deep
Into enemy territory — as
h>ng as you make sure that
no further strikes get
through.

The ground is one thing
— the air is another. The
comfortaUa MiG 21s In
Falcon have Imen replaced
by much more deadly MiG
29s, and with two different
styles of pilot. Some of the
MiG pilots will be easy
meat; but there are others
that will push even the
most experienced Falcon
pilot to the limits. They will
provide such a challenge
tliat it is worth going up a
few times just to liave a go

SOME

ADDITIONAl
HINTS AND TtPS

CITADEL

Citadel was designed to have elements of both
shoot 'em up and strategy, so try thinking of the
city layouts in terms of a board game. Each of Uie
floor tiles is one 'square', and all traps react to
the MONITOR in terms of 'squares'. Most of the
enemy defences will only detect your presence if
you move or fire. Bearing this in mind will help
you to get a lot furUier into the game. So here are
some general hints to help you on your way:

One ol the (esi games on Ihe 6d this moment, Citadel
gives you the chance to flex your brain cells as well as
your muscles Marlin Walker is here ro start you ott

• Always try to position a captured mobile in
front of MONITOR before you move off down a
corridor, even if you have to wait for it to catch up
when you change direction. Far better the mobile
to absorb a hit than for your own energy to fall.

LEVEL 1
(Alien)

Upper and lower storey

LEVEL 2
(Armour)

Upper and lower storey

• All enemy defences win open when you are
two squares away, and equipment and switches
will open when you're one square away; so it may
be passible to avoid triggering traps by keeping
to the other side of a corridor.

• If you capture a mobile and an energy pod from
Ihe same spot, always capture the mobile first if
you have the energy to do so. This way you will
leave the spot fully rechai^ed (I know it sounds
obvious but people still miss H).

• When firat playing CHadef, watch the lights on
the static guns. Tliese show the possible
directions of fire. There's no point in placing
yourself in the line of fire when you can pick off
an enemy from a safe position, so p)ay safe.

• When a captured mobile is running out of
energy, capture another. Although the first will
now be hostile (don't move), the new mobile will
assume the position of the old one, and will
conveniently destroy it for you.

PLJiV

TO

Wfiii

• If you know what is lurking on the other side of
a lift shaft, position your mobile before you go
throu^. When you emerge on the other side,
your mobile will be in the same position, giving
you a protectlva barrier before you mov« off.

• Burst fire and two-way wmpons botli have a
longer range than enemy sensors, so you can
destroy them before they even know you're
there. Who said that you shouldn't play dirty?
